Timeline

Origin and history

The church of Saint-Jean-Evangelist of Grignon is a religious monument located in the commune of Grignon, in Côte-d-Or (department 21), within the region Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Its origins date back to several periods of construction, ranging from the 13th to the 17th century, thus reflecting various architectural influences peculiar to these periods. The building was listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 26 October 1925, reflecting its heritage value recognized by the authorities.

The location of the church at 18 Rue Franche in Grignon is documented in the Merimée base, although geographical accuracy is considered poor (note of 5/10). Owned by the municipality, this building was able to play a central role in local life, as a place of worship, community gathering or religious celebrations. The periods of construction identified (XIII, XV, XVI and XVII centuries) suggest successive changes or additions, typical of French rural churches, often adapted to the changing needs of parishes.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, indicate that the church is part of the protected heritage, without further specifying the architectural details or the specific historical events associated with it. The absence of references to characters or sponsors in the documents consulted limits the knowledge of actors who have contributed to its construction or evolution. The Creative Commons license associated with a photograph of the monument (GOL69 credit), however, makes it possible to visualize the present external aspect.
